Summary
The release preserves SYSTEMROOT, TEMP and TMP when remote MCP servers run with explicitly configured environment variables. The change allows Unix hosts to retain the Windows executor’s startup environment instead of losing required variables.
Why it matters
Cross-platform MCP execution is a foundational part of agentic development, and environment loss can prevent tools from starting or behave inconsistently across operating systems.
